These killer whales, specialized in hunting elasmobranchs, have been targeting white sharks along the coastal areas, leading to a significant decline in their numbers. The killer whales have been observed hunting and preying on white sharks, resulting in eviscerated carcasses and altered behavior in the white shark population. The continuous presence of killer whales in these areas has caused white sharks to flee from their traditional aggregation sites, such as Dire Island, leading to a shift in their distribution and abundance. The predatory pressure exerted by the killer whales has disrupted the coastal ecology, causing a ripple effect on other marine species. For example, the increased predation on white sharks has led to changes in the behavior of other mesopredators like bronze whaler sharks and an increase in competition for food resources among species like Cape fur seals and African penguins. The impact of killer whales on the white shark population has been a cause for concern among researchers and conservationists. The rapid decline in white shark numbers in areas like Hans Bay has raised questions about the broader implications of such predator-prey dynamics on marine ecosystems. The altered coastal ecology due to the presence of killer whales highlights the interconnectedness of species and the delicate balance within marine environments. The relocation and behavioral changes observed in white sharks, possibly in response to the predatory pressure from killer whales, suggest a complex and evolving relationship between these apex predators. The relocation of white sharks to offshore areas and unexpected fishing grounds indicate a potential shift in their foraging behavior and distribution patterns. This adaptation to avoid predation by killer whales showcases the resilience and adaptability of white sharks in response to changing environmental pressures. The behavior of killer whales, specifically the pair known as Port and Starboard, targeting and hunting white sharks has caused significant disruptions in the marine ecosystem in South Africa. The presence of these killer whales has led to a decrease in the white shark population in areas like Hans Bay, Mossel Bay, and False Bay. This decline in white sharks has had a cascading effect on other species in the ecosystem. One of the consequences of the decline in white sharks is the increase in Cape fur seals, as mentioned in the episode. With fewer white sharks preying on them, the Cape fur seal population has exploded, leading to potential competition for food resources with other species like African penguins. The increased predation pressure from Cape fur seals on African penguins can have detrimental effects on the penguin population, further disrupting the balance of the ecosystem. The impact of killer whales on the marine ecosystem goes beyond just the direct predation on white sharks. The presence of these apex predators can alter the behavior and distribution of other species in the area. For example, the displacement of white sharks from their traditional habitats can lead to shifts in the distribution of mesopredators like bronze whaler sharks. This shift in predator dynamics can have far-reaching consequences on the entire food web in the region. The rapid and significant changes observed in the marine ecosystem due to the hunting behavior of killer whales highlight the interconnectedness of species and the delicate balance that exists in natural ecosystems. The disruptions caused by the targeted predation on white sharks by killer whales serve as a stark reminder of the complex interactions that govern marine ecosystems and the potential consequences of altering these dynamics. The movement and distribution of white sharks in South Africa have shown fluctuations, potentially indicating shifts in their range and behavior in response to the presence of killer whales. Alison Towner, a shark scientist, discussed how the arrival of killer whales, specifically a pair named Port and Starboard, in South Africa in 2017 has had a significant impact on the white shark population. The killer whales, known for their specialized hunting of elasmobranchs, particularly sharks, have caused white sharks to alter their behavior and distribution patterns. Initially, the white sharks in areas like Hans Bay and Mossel Bay experienced displacement and a decrease in numbers due to the presence of the killer whales. The orcas' hunting tactics, such as targeting white sharks and consuming their livers, have led to a rapid decline in the white shark population in these regions. The impact of the killer whales has been profound, with white sharks avoiding their traditional aggregation sites and coastal areas where the orcas are known to hunt. The response of the white sharks to the presence of killer whales has been observed to vary. Some sharks have relocated to different areas, possibly offshore, where they are less likely to encounter the orcas. This behavior suggests a potential shift in the range and distribution of white sharks in response to the threat posed by the killer whales. The fluctuations in the white shark population and their movements highlight the complex interactions between apex predators and the cascading effects on marine ecosystems. Overall, the arrival of killer whales in South Africa has disrupted the established dynamics of the marine environment, leading to changes in the behavior and distribution of white sharks. The ongoing research and monitoring of these interactions are crucial to understanding the long-term implications for the white shark population and the broader marine ecosystem in South Africa.

"Kalk Bay Harbour embodies the raw beauty of Cape Town's False Bay coast. Listen to the sound of waves; seagulls flying overhead; seals snorting from time to time as they bathe in the sun, waiting for scraps; the low hum of tools as fishermen repair their boats; an artist who takes out a selection of works to sell to passers-by, and the chatting of tourists and locals walking up and down the pier."

In this episode of "How to Protect the Ocean," host Andrew Lewinn discusses the mystery surrounding the disappearance of great white sharks in False Bay. He explores theories such as whether they were eaten, moved elsewhere, or if their food supply ran out. Andrew reveals that the mystery has been solved and dives into the conservation success stories of great white sharks in various regions around the world. The episode highlights the iconic nature of great whites and their population growth in protected areas. Andrew also mentions South Africa's role in capturing stunning footage of great white sharks breaching the water to catch seals. Tune in to learn more about these fascinating creatures and how to advocate for ocean conservation.

This disappearance has sparked concerns and led to various theories about the cause. The episode explores theories such as whether the sharks were eaten, if they relocated to another area, or if their food supply depleted. The decline of white sharks is described as dramatic, fast, and unprecedented, highlighting the urgency to understand the situation. Furthermore, the episode reveals that the mystery of the great white shark disappearance in False Bay has been solved. Recent research indicates that the sharks did not perish but instead migrated across South Africa. The study found that the white shark population had shifted eastward. This shift is attributed to the presence of orcas, which are predators that influence the movement and habitat selection of their prey. It is suggested that the orcas pose a threat to the great white sharks, prompting them to relocate in order to avoid being hunted. Overall, the episode delves into the disappearance of great white sharks in South Africa, the theories surrounding their vanishing, and the recent research suggesting that the sharks have relocated due to the presence of orcas. Additionally, the episode mentions the phenomenon of great white sharks leaping out of the water, known as Air Jaws, which was filmed and documented in South Africa. This footage of great white sharks breaching to capture seals served as the inspiration for the creation of Shark Week by Discovery. Shark Week has become a popular television event for over 20 years, featuring episodes that explore sharks and their behavior. The episode suggests that Shark Week has greatly benefited from the filming of these episodes in South Africa, solidifying its significance in the entertainment industry. There are concerns regarding the fishing industry in South Africa, specifically the shark meat industry, and its potential contribution to unsustainable fishing practices and the decline of great white sharks. The episode highlights that one of the greatest threats to sharks in South Africa is the shark meat industry, which exports a substantial amount of shark meat to European and Asian markets. It is suggested that Australia indirectly supports these unsustainable practices by consuming shark meat in their fish and chips market. The episode emphasizes the necessity for increased transparency within the fishing industry to track the destination of these products and address their potential impact on shark populations.

Ryan Stramrood is an extreme ocean and ice swimmer, wearing only a speedo, swim cap and goggles. He achieved a Guinness World Record for the fastest crossing of the 32km shark-infested False Bay in Cape Town, spent 32 minutes swimming one mile in one degree below-freezing Antarctic waters, and has numerous extreme ocean crossings under his belt. At the time of recording, he had completed the 7.2 km Robben island to Blouberg crossing, in the cold Cape Town waters, a whopping 122 times. What makes his story so compelling, is that he started out as an unfit, over-weight, average-Joe at the age of 29. He was not born with any particular gift for swimming or handling cold water. His is a story of how an ordinary guy trained his body and taught his mind how to push past impossible. He shares fascinating accounts of his swims in freezing cold, pushing beyond extreme exhaustion, swimming through a field of jelly fish, swimming in shark- infested waters at night, blacking out due a rare lung condition in freezing waters and an up-close encounter with a great white shark. He discusses how the mind is both our greatest asset and our biggest limitation, courtesy of its need for comfort and safety. How, as humans, we tend to be ‘excuse magnets' and that you don't need any special talent to achieve even greater heights in whatever your pursuit. This episode promises fascinating stories and very achievable and universally applicable lessons from them.

Fine Music Radio — Following the sighting of a pod of Orcas or Killer Whales in False Bay last weekend, Glynis Crook speaks to scientist Dr Simon Elwen of the NPO Sea Search, to find out more about the mammal, why they are coming more frequently to waters around the Cape, and the impact their presence has on the local ecosystem. They also discuss reports that two of the Orca have been attacking sharks and eating their livers, which is unusual behaviour.

In 2019, the famous flying great white sharks of South Africa’s False Bay completely disappeared, leaving locals, scientists and a booming tourism industry desperate for answers. Are shark-eating orcas or climate change to blame? Or could the answer lie across the Southern Ocean in Australia?

Fine Music Radio — Last year, Being Green spoke to journalist Steve Kretzmann about the quality of the coastal water around Cape Town. He said it was difficult to know how clean it was as the City of Cape Town had not made public the results of its water sample tests for some time. Well a few weeks ago, it did in fact publish the Know Your Coast, 2019 report on water quality at recreational beaches and monitoring points along the Atlantic and False Bay coasts, looking at samples taken over a period of five years. In the programme this week, Glynis Crook asks Steve what he made of it. Full report here

MultimediaLIVE — Cape Town has long been a famous stopover for lonely seafarers – a last chance of nightlife before crossing the sea. Now scientists have shown the same is true underwater, where visiting humpback whales spend up to 17hrs a day singing to each other, sometimes together, in sing-a-longs that can be heard at least 30km away. The humpback singing came as a surprise to a group of Cape Town maritime researchers who had set out to record dolphin sounds using underwater microphones in False Bay. In addition to dolphin sounds they discovered over 211 hours of humpback singing from 63 separate sessions.

In today’s business headlines: Finance Minister Tito Mboweni’s growth plan may put him on a collision course with unions, fellow Cabinet and ANC-members; Acting SARS boss Mark Kingon says economic growth in the country is not enough to reach SARS revenue targets.; British Prime Minister will be suspending Parliament until 14 October indicating that the UK is heading full steam for Brexit; Motus accelerates and resource stocks surge on the JSE; and Great Whites have disappeared from False Bay.

Topic: Raising funds For the False Bay Trust Guest: Charles Maisel, Global Social Entrepreneur Host: Jeremy van Wyk, Weekend Early Charles Maisel, the renowned Global Social Entrepreneur, has established The False Bay Hospital Trust as the fundraising arm of the False Bay Hospital, to raise much-needed funds for improved infrastructure, medical equipment, and salaries for additional staff.

Jacaranda FM — The Minister of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries, Barbara Creecy, has temporarily suspended exploratory fishing for octopus in False Bay with immediate effect. This follows a public outcry over the entanglement of a number of whales in octopus traps in the area.

A long term great white shark survey conducted in False Bay, South Africa . has found that there has been a sharp decrease in Great White Sharks in 2017 and 2018. Those two years resulted in zero sightings of the once dominant shark species in the area. So what happens to a marine ecosystem when an apex predator disappears?  Dr. Neil Hammershlag (University of Miami) and Chris Fallows (Apex Shark Expeditions) wrote a paper on the subject that was recently published in Scientific Reports.  The authors found a drastic increase in sightings of seven gill sharks (120 sightings) when Great White Sharks weren't present. The seven gill sharks normally occur 18 km away hidden in the kelp forests away from their predator, the great white shark. Now that the whites are gone, the seven gills are ready to take over.  Take a listen to the details in the episode.  What did you think about the great whites disappearing?

Greg Bertish is a big wave surfer and a South African Champion Lifesaver and Stand Up Paddle Boarder. He is an ambassador for the Children’s Hospital Trust and the National Sea Rescue Institute, and founder of the Shark Spotter Program. He has helped raise (to date) over R2 million for these charities. He has achieved all of this as a multiple heart surgery survivor and patient. He continues to promote conservation, water safety, healthy living and optimism. In April 2016 Greg sailed an 8 foot Children’s Optimist dinghy around the Cape of Storms. He crossed False Bay, rounded Cape Point and headed for Langebaan Lagoon on the wild West Coast. His 200-kilometer journey matched the 200 days he had spent in hospital fighting life-threatening heart infections. He raised R300,000 towards a new Intensive Care Unit at the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital. Greg hopes this journey of a REAL Little Optimist and his Children’s book about a little believer with a HUGE heart, will help teach kids that being small, sick, poor or different is OK. And prove that they too can survive and thrive. His story will inspire kids and the world to believe in themselves, get better, be better and follow their passions and dreams.

The fire which has destroyed about 13 structures at Simons Town in False Bay in the Cape Peninsula has been contained. But Cape Town Fire and Rescue Services say while the situation has been brought under control for now, changing wind direction could again see the blaze flare up. Over 300 personnel including Cape Town Fire and Rescue Services, Disaster Risk Management and the Navy, among others, were deployed contain the flames. Corbin August reports...
